Cablevision of Rockland/Ramapo Inc., has prevailed in its petition filed with the Federal Communications Commission to have basic-cable service rates deregulated in Montvale, N.J., according to a decision released today by the regulatory agency.
The FCC agreed with the West Nyack-based unit of Cablevision Systems Corp., which also provides service to several communities in Rockland County, that satellite providers, such as DirectTV Inc. and DISH Network, provided “effective competition� in Montvale and revoked the authority of the local-franchising authorities in those communities to regulate basic-cable rates.
The decision also applies to two other Cablevision units that provide cable services to Elizabeth and West Milford, N.J.

On a side note:
I remember reading somewhere that Cable providers ( Cablevision included ) would be required to allow
subscribers to bring there own box.
Is this true?
Can someone provide more detail?
